Welcome to Gaia! ::

((No....I've got no means of contacting Dupre, sorry alina. I'm as confused as you.))


Not expecting it, Mercury jumped as the booming noise overtook the silence in the room. This high up, though still loud, it sounded like a bellow. But for someone to do so, they had to be channeling. What in Light's....the words the announcement had been blaring registered and Mercury rushed over to the window. She could see slow movement on Dragonmount's slope.

In the name of the Light, what is the matter with the Pattern today?! Wolf seemingly dying, Yurin going off to Shayol Goul, and now this!! Can anything else make this day worse?!

"LINA! Go tell the Greens & Blues to Travel to the slopes with their Warders! Have the warders evacuate the nearby villages, but tell them not to do anything about the ice unless I get there, or it becomes dangerous!! Find the cause of this! Hurry! Alyse, quickly! Tell the stablemen to saddle as many horses! Then find the person who made that announcement! Tell them to report to me, immediately! Bring them up here yourself if that's what it takes!"

Ushering the two girls out the door, Mercury took a deep breath. They could not afford any mishaps. Or any more disaster. Clarissa wasn't in any mental state to take care of this. So she would take care of it herself. A novice came running in to report the news just heard and Mercury sent her to wait inside the Amyrlin's quarters with Hawk, so she could have a report as soon as she needed it.

"Fayela...I'm sorry...but we'll have to talk later. We have a job to do...will you help?"

He was...he was...toying with her! No way a warder could be this bad with a sword! He had to be playing with her! Growling in her throat she pressed her offensive harder, using much more than just her sword. Keeping both hands on the handle of her sword she swung a horizontal swing from the right, waited for him to block, rolled her shoulders so her left shoulder was in a position to drive into Kederaji's chest. Which she did, with more than a little anger. A good defense was hard to break, but a powerful offence was better than any defense, and that was exactly how Rintala fought. She pressed her opponent hard and fast, trying to keep them off balance. It worked with local street thoughs, or road side bandits...but this was a warder!!

As the Accepted giving her the message left Lacy sighed. Looked like she would have to wait on that bath. At least she had been able to finish her meal. Taking a brush to her long white hair, Lacy sighed. Her Gaidin would not best be pleased with heading out again but at the moment he seemed to be amused. That couldn't be bad and by the location in his head and his calmness she could only guess that he was still practicing at the Training Yards. The only question was what could he be amused about. She had bonded a strange man and was intent on figuring out exactly who and what he was.

Opening up a gateway in her rooms, Lacy Traveled to the Traveling grounds then made her way over to the Warder Yards where she sensed that Kederaji was. Upon finding him she could only shake her head. He was sparing with a rather untrained girl to Lacy's eye and she walked so that he could clearly see her and leaned against the fence. She would let him finish his fight before she informed him of the order to go to Dragonmount. Lacy had no idea what could be so important about the bloody ice melting but if that was where she was sent that was where she was going though she doubted that her skills would be needed there. Why ever would they need battle weaves used on water. Lacy waited and watched.

Startled as well at the sudden commotion,Faye blink when she was addressed.

"I will, though I just came to inquire about when Yurin is...I figured that the Mother would be the best person to help....But,yes,I will help."

((ya he contacted me and said he might not be on for a while...))

Nodding, Mercury siezed the source and opened a gateway to dragonmount. She motioned Fayela through, then stepped through it herself. As it snapped shut behind her, she looked up at the mass of land moving towards them. They couldn't just stop it; it would have to go somewhere. But where? She assumed whoever was channeling it had been found already, since a small trio was clustered in a far off corner of her vision. As she wondered for an answer, the landslide raced towards them. She knew the sisters better than to say they'd be crushed, but swords were no good against dirt.

"Anyone have ideas on where to send it?"

monster eh, look who's talking
Mirren could feel people around her channeling, but gave them no attention. She surely would be stilled for this, but she did not care.
I want nothing to do with Saidar, nothing!
Her anger made her stronger than she could ever have imagened.

A load BANG rolled over the land in every direction. With it ash spraided from Dragonmount in a stunning fountain.

((I take it that Dragonmount is an explosive volcano, since it is nowhere near a subductionzone, therefore ryolite magma will come from it, not bazaltic magma, the last not being explosive. Normally I used to make eathquakes when I have a stong emotion, but I think that would be only a little bit to much of it all right now.))

Clarissa immedietly begin sending out flows to block off Mirren after she exited the gateway. She did not see Alina and was only focusing on stopping the girl. Mirren was very strong in Earth and her anger certainly helped but Clarissa had years of advantage on her. She sent out her flows meant to block Mirren from the source and prayed to the Creator they worked.
